Hi,
I’m using openSUSE 11.2/KDE 4.4 and Konqueror is behaving strangely lately. That is, when I click an entry in RSS Now widget, Konqueror opens, but instead of going to the web, it displays the cached version of the page (i.e. from /var/tmp/kdecache-[username]/krun/…).
Initially I thought it is related to the widget (RSS Now), but the same thing happened when Konqueror was called by another program (Google Desktop > preferences): it opened the cached version of the page instead of what I’ve expected (localhost on some port).
As I see these things, it seems there is a setting making Konqueror/KDE to preload some pages (I guess it’s related to a KDE service). The problem is it subsequently displays the cache, not the online version.
Does anyone know how to fix this unnatural behavior?
Thank you.
What happens if you refresh the page?
What setting have you in web browsing cache?
Refreshing makes it reload the cached version (which is html+css only, no images or other things).
As about the settings:
- “use cache” checked
- “keep cache in sync” selected
Same thing with “use cache” unchecked.
When you open the settings box
See the lower left a button ‘Defaults’
try it
it will set everything back to defaults
restart K
see if it changes anything
Unfortunately it didn’t work.
With K closed, use dolphin
Try this:
delete this folder
.kde4/share/apps/konqueror
delete these files
.kde4/share/config/konq_history
.kde4/share/config/konqsidebartng.rc
.kde4/share/config/konquerorrc
Sorry for delay.
No, it didn’t work. I still think it may be related to the config of a KDE service (probably a config file messed up during an upgrade).
For anyone interested, in the end I figured it out when I’ve clicked a link in KMail and an alert window appeared with the message “There is no application installed that can open files of the type HTML document (text/html). Do you want to install one?”.
The problem was I defined a default customized Konqueror profile, and either the profile file, either the command line in file associations were screwed up.
Setting the default Konqueror profile as the default command for text/html in file associations worked flawlessly. Anyway, I changed it to Chrome, and all is fine now.
